Ekua King, Photographer, London

Description

This striking close-up photographic portrait by London-based photographer Ekua King captures a Black person's face in intimate detail. Small pink crystal flakes are delicately scattered across their forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, creating a textured, sculptural effect against the dark skin. The subject's eyes are closed in a serene, contemplative expression. The background is a deep, solid black, isolating the subject and emphasizing the vibrant contrast of the pink adornments. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the contours of the face and the glittering texture of the crystals.
